Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't
disguise
The look of love
Is saying so much more than
Just words could every say
Well it takes my breath away
[Chorus]
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Baby be mine, tonight
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lovers vow
And seal it with a kiss
[Chorus]
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
The look of love
Let this be just the start of
So many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And baby we'll seal it with a kiss
[Chorus]

Lovely testimony ❤️
I had similar. My parents divorced when I was 5 and my mom took me back to Germany. I turned 21 and briefly talked to my dad on the phone but I had such a grudge over him choosing another family and abandoning me.
I married and moved back to the US and it took my own divorce to try and contact my dad and his wife answered the phone saying he had died.
Was my first lesson on forgiveness and grudges, but I wasn't yet saved or looking for God at that time.
My journey started at 31.
I became a truck driver and God had His one on one time with me and we traveled and did a bunch of things while on the road...highway to heaven was always one of my favourite shows but as a kid I didn't quite get the God concept of that show...I just liked Michael London..but apparently I was doing my own highway to heaven.
One night I asked God whether my Dad was saved since I got saved...but how would I ever find that out since he was dead?
The very next day I had a load to my cousins town so I could visit. He was my dad's brother's son and a staunch atheist, you couldn't tell him anything about God. I was just happy to see family. We talked about all kinds of stuff a d out of the blue he said...you know your dad came to me and told me about God and Jesus being his Lord and Savior and forgiveness of sins, but I don't even believe in any of that bs...
My jaw dropped cause that was what I had wanted to know the night before.
If Jesus says He'll make the rocks cry out...if He can use an atheist to answer my prayer...I don't question anything anymore and knowing that gave me so much peace because looking for my earthly father brought me closer to my heavenly one.
And He will never leave me nor forsake me ❤️

@@lydiapetra1211 absolutely agree generational consequences as our Grandparents had huge issues & cops were called to their home in the 1940’s
So far 11 divorces between their children & grandchildren
My parents & our divorces were grief related…. Losing a child breaks your heart….Church gave us a month off of teaching & music responsibilities & lack of compassion left us struggling
10 years later I found out in our small town the rumour had it that my brother died of suicide and people didn’t know what to say or do.
My mom had cancer the same time & had kidney surgery…. Got out of hospital a day before my 35 yr old healthy looking brother died of Colon cancer. It was a devastating time….now 30 years later I realize how I as a daughter felt obligated to care for everyone and not my well being
We did go for Christian counseling which gave us hope that added another 15 years to our 13 years
After my parents split & our Empty next made us realize we didn’t want to be 80 with regret My mother would say to me I wish I never would’ve married your dad.
My ex & I split with love & wished each other well. I stayed single for 10 years caring for my parents who each had 3 cancers. 3 years ago married my best friend
Our adult children say they are glad to see their parents happiness & respect for each other.
My ex found a lovely woman 9 years ago & enjoy a wonderful life together

I’m so very sorry. I can imagine how incredibly hard that was for you. I read the entire bible in 2019-2020, and I realized that unless a believer has read the entire bible and is still a believer, you can’t fully trust their faith, because yes, there are some very hard things to understand in the Bible and some downright weird (to us) things as well.
BUT, thankfully I had a very strong foundation of faith before I partook that journey. One huge thing that grounds my faith is that the Bible is the only religious book with 100% accurate prophecies. The only one! Many of them have already come true, and we’re seeing the end times prophecies coming true like never before. I think the end times “Tribulation” period spoken of in Revelation will be happening very soon. If it does, do not take the mark of the beast (a mark in your hand or forehead that will allow you to buy & sell). Doing so will send your soul to hell.
Another thing for me is that I had an established relationship with God before I read the entire bible. God guides me, warns me when I or a loved one is in trouble, and He miraculously saved me from what I believe would have been a fatal car accident.
Do I always feel His presence or guidance? No. But, I know that I know He’s there.
The genocide of people in the Bible were of a very wicked race—half demonic/half human. Genesis describes them (the nephilum). They were giants. There are some fascinating videos about this by LA Marzulli.
The talking donkey never bothered me, ha! With all the miracles that happened in the Bible, that was just God doing another one.
We can’t understand God’s ways. But, if we know He’s there, and if we know He’s a good, fair and just God like He says He is, then all we can do is accept and trust Him.
I hope this helps in some way, and I sincerely hope you find your way back, friend. 🙏🏻

A testimony:
I was raised going to church with my Mom, my Dad didn't attend church, he studied at home, reading books written by men and the Bible.
My Dad had an affair, I came home from school early one day, and he and my now step-mother (who is a Jehova witness) were moving things out of our apartment.
I drove to where my Mom worked, then we came back to the apartment.
My parents were screaming at each other, my Mom was yelling at the other woman, then the other woman got out of the van and attacked my Mom to the ground and began punching her. I screamed at her to get off, my Mom told me to go into the house. I yelled at my Dad and told him "you did this, do something" He laughed at me and said "what do you want me to do?"
I ran into my room, threw myself on my bed, and did the only thing I knew to do...I was heartbroken.... On my knees,
I cried out to God..."If this can be happening, then everything I have been taught is a lie"
Then the Lord revealed himself to me, my room was so bright I could barely see, then it felt like the warmest most loving hug I have ever experienced. It was around me and all through me, It was peaceful, it was PERFECTION!
And He told me "It all will be alright in the end"
God is not in a church or in books written and sold by men or women.
God bless

It's nobody's business why! Whatever happened stays between them and God. Shame on you!!!

I believe that marriage is a partnership in every aspect of your lives, if one doesn’t support you in something you love to do, or if you don’t consider the feeling of the other partner, then problems loom and unhappiness is the end result.
@formicapple2
@@Monkeybar54621 I agree. However, Scripture instructs the husband to be to his wife as Christ is to the Church. The husband’s ministry is to his wife and family, then to other matters. It is so easy to drift apart. I am guilty of that too.

Charles Stanley he a good teacher and preacher of God word, People should not be on social media trying to make him look bad God bless pastor Stanley and his wife.

Give no man more honor than is his due. We all have feet of clay. Christ alone is our hope.

I believe that Dr. Stanley certainly applies that to himself, as we all should.

I seen Charles Stanley say in an interview he could never get his wife to say why she wanted a divorce. He was heart broken. She also had suffered some mental issues. Jennifer

Recently watched an interview with Andy and Charles Andy said his dad always made time for the family. They always felt special. We need to get facts straight before we slander someone.
God knows the truth. Jennifer
